I have a similar method, which I describe here.

I like to use use Gingko while I'm hard technical material. I basically just re-write a much more condensed version of the textbook as I read through it.

Here's my Gingko map of Sivia's Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial.

EDIT: fixed the link

Also, I should note that I think a lot of the benefit of using Gingko is the simple act of putting the notes into it (because it changes the reading experience from passive to active).

I'm not so sure it's that reading the Gingko tree is useful.

I can't see your linked Gingko tree. It sends me to the Gingko home page, or my Gingko tree if I'm logged in. Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks, fixed.

Just a heads-up: that's not a valid shareable link on gingko. What you need to do is go in the "Settings of Current Tree", and make sure it's set to "Readable At". You can set a name for the tree there at the same time, and it'll give you a link in red. This is the link you have to give others for them to view the tree.

Your current link simply takes us to the Gingko front page or to our own homepage.
